I replaced my coleman with a coleman digital and was very easy. Just make sure color of wires match the trailer wires.

I'm shopping as well... for another project. In my truck camper I used a narrow tall one to fit the limited space. Bought it at Home Depot.

Many household thermostats often use/require a "C" wire for power (24v), unless you use a battery powered one that doesn't require it.

For an RV, unless you plan to stay with an "old school" mechanical thermostat, the digital version you're probably longing for will need to be battery powered.

We use a Hunter thermostat (2, AA battery powered) that also has a remote control, which we keep bedside for cold mornings.

The only thing to watch out for if installing a home t-stat is your 2 speed fan function which may require an extra switch if you want to keep that function. The home units seem to work fine but the wiring on some is a bit different but there are lots of posts on how to do it.

Yes. The 2 posts above summarize it pretty well.

Yes, with the caveat I posted above.
